It's a real estate business basically, and this allows for great synergy. |

Date: November 22nd, 2017 1:47 PM Author: lilac bisexual locale This is absolutely brilliant. They’d also crush it selling athletic merchandise to people that want to get a workout while traveling.
Seems like the better move might be a joint venture with an existing hotel chain though? |

Date: November 22nd, 2017 1:49 PM Author: narrow-minded field weed whacker agreed.
i'm also willing to be that they'll be able to attract a better looking, wealthier clientele as well, and that opens up opportunities for the hotels to have good restaurants and bars and such. |

Date: November 22nd, 2017 2:00 PM Author: Indigo locus digit ratio That's my thinking. They have zero experience creating hotel chains or market power. Why not co-brand with a luxury hotel company that has experience and knows wtf they are doing and can do it at a much lower cost.

|
Date: November 22nd, 2017 2:24 PM Author: lilac bisexual locale yeah this is my thinking. man this could be huge though. having the hotels might drive more gym membership revenue, the gyms provide a ready made market for the hotels and from there they can ipo and branch out into a bunch of other adjacent markets.

Date: November 22nd, 2017 2:33 PM Author: Indigo locus digit ratio Running gyms and running hotels aren't really that similar.
This shit will be insanely expensive to make up for their higher costs |
|
Date: November 22nd, 2017 3:19 PM Author: stubborn stead Pretty spot on point. I wonder, though, if this is what they're actually doing but the JV partner is silent. For instance, maybe they are partnering with some big hotel management company that develops and manages Hilton hotels or something and this is just quietly in the background.

these dont even have showers, right?
i'm talking real gyms where you can get a full workout and shower. |
|
Date: November 22nd, 2017 2:00 PM Author: narrow-minded field weed whacker i wonder if the RE would be too costly. you'd have to have a good deal of space for a gym, including showers and locker rooms. people will only pay so much for the privilege of working out.
i guess it could be an airport chain with a membership for frequent travelers though.
idk, when i travel the last thing i wanna do is squeeze in a workout during a layover. |
|
Date: November 22nd, 2017 2:05 PM Author: Lake passionate corner fortuitous meteor you dont travel enough to make it that essential. this would need to be catered to the true "road warriors" -- guys/shrews on the road every other week at least, EXP/1k types, etc. those types may want to work out and have no other time for it.
i have no idea what the economics of it would be. the airlines all charge ~$50 for a daily lounge pass. i'm doubtful that very many people pay this, or that very many companies allow reimbursement for this. but would people pay $50 for a workout if they pay $50 for a lounge pass?
also, you'd probably need a big ass gym, otherwise it'd get way too crowded. also, you'd probably need MULTIPLE gyms at each major airport since it's not easy to go from terminal to terminal bc of security.

Date: November 22nd, 2017 3:22 PM Author: stubborn stead Have thought about this for a long time, and there is a company doing it. I think the issues are the RE is very expensive and you need to provide shower facilities and such. Not sure how big the market is @ $44 per workout session. Game changer is if they can sign deals with big cos that have people travel to get this somehow paid for by employer, though.
